  • Yeah the format is a bit different, with >> denoting the comment number

    Though it could’ve easily been a messed up formatting. I’ve done it plenty of times. Though their formatting is easier than here, where you need that extra empty line for comments to show up on different lines.

    I didn’t consider that someone could actually go there and find the post since I think of 4chan as /b where it all disappears after 2 hours.

    I was searching archives and found nothing, assuming it was old enough (and I was lucky enough) that it was archived. Then just searched for the comment number + 4chan and found it. Turns it it is just 20 hours old or so. Only now I realize that the date is right there lol. And it being /g/, it’s much much slower

    Jokes and stories are often written that way there. Greentext. Actual quote and that greentext form of writing just use the same > arrow thingy. You see it here too sometimes.

    I think there’s something fun about writing it like that. Reminds me of IRC.
